The First Signs of Washoe is a 1974 documentary from the PBS series Nova that chronicles Project Washoe, an experiment raising a wild-born chimpanzee using American Sign Language. The film demonstrates how Washoe acquired spontaneous signing and conceptual combinations, challenging the traditional scientific consensus that language is uniquely human.
